12 3i and 7i / Owner’s Manual
Figure 3.4-2. Shifting Gears on the 3i
Retrieve the 3-speed shifter push rod from the parts bag and insert it into the hole on the right end of the axle
(Fig. 3.4-2a),
then attach the bell
crank to the right axle by fitting it over the push rod and right axle nut as close to the drop out as possible, with the shifter cable routed along the
lower edge of the frame chain stay, then securing it by tightening the 2.5 mm set screw with the 2.5 mm hex wrench
(Fig. 3.4-2b).
IMPORTANT
:
Do no over tighten the 2.5 mm set screw.
Set the twist grip shifter in 2
nd
gear
(Fig. 3.4-2c)
. On the bell crank, make sure the interior thicker
yellow line under the gear alignment window is between the two thinner yellow lines on the window. If needed, use the shifter cable barrel adjuster
at the front of the bell crank to move the interior line to the correct 2
nd
gear position
(Fig. 3.4-2d)
.
Figure 3.4-3. Shifter Connections on the 7i
Set the 7-speed shifter to gear 1
(Fig. 3.4-3a),
then insert the 2 mm hex wrench (or short spoke) into the hole of the cassette pulley tab located at
the 9 o’clock position
(Fig. 3.4-2b)
and rotate the wrench to the 6 o’clock position so the cable fixing screw can be inserted into the oblong slot on
the cassette pulley, now in the 9 o’clock position, with the nut facing outward
(Fig. 3.4-2c).
While holding the wrench at the 6 o’clock position, insert
the black plastic ferrule on the end of the cable housing into the socket at the end of the cassette pulley arm
(Fig. 3.4-2d)
, then return the wrench to
the 9 o’clock position making sure the cable lies in the groove under the cassette pulley.
Figure 3.4-4. Shifting Gears on the 7i
Set the 7-speed grip shifter to gear 4
(Fig. 3.4-3a),
then check the gear alignment window on the hub cassette pulley to make sure the 2 yellow
lines are aligned
(Fig. 3.4-2b).
If the lines are offset, turn the barrel adjuster located where the shifter cable enters the grip shifter
(Fig. 3.4-2c)
until
the 2 yellow lines align
(Fig. 3.4-2b).
If turning the barrel adjuster is not sufficient to align the 2 yellow lines, shift to gear 1, separate the shifter
cable from the cassette pulley and make sure the free cable, from the ferrule at the end of the housing to the center of the fixing screw, is 100 mm
long
(Fig. 3.4-2c).
If not, loosen the fixing screw/nut, reposition it to the 100 mm length, tighten the fixing screw/nut, and reinstall the cable onto the
cassette pulley.
